Skinome - a partner that wants to make a difference

We at Naturarvet are proud that Skinome has chosen to be our partner. Skinome is a Swedish skincare company, which not only wants to create products with minimal environmental impact, but also contribute to a more sustainable society at large.

- We want to make a difference with the sustainability work we do, and we are keen that everything we do, and that our products also have as minimal impact on the environment as possible," says Ulf Åkerström, VP and CIO at Skinome.

- Swedish old-growth forest have a unique species richness and a great social value that we think is important to preserve. The forest also helps to bind carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby reducing the footprint of our products.

But cooperation is also about something personal.

- We love being out in the forest and nature ourselves. A healthy, old-growth forest means a lot to our own well-being. That's why it felt right to support Naturarvet, which works purposefully to preserve Swedish old-growth forest," explains Ulf.

Hoping for greater awareness

Ulf says that through the collaboration with Naturarvet, Skinome hopes to not only contribute to the protection of more forests, but also to raise awareness in society.

- In addition to directly increasing the amount of old-growth forest that is preserved, we hope that it contributes to a general increase in awareness and change in society, and that more people will have the opportunity to take part in and enjoy great nature experiences.

Challenges in the skincare industry

When Skinome talks about sustainability, it's also about daring to see the challenges within your own industry. The skincare industry today is characterized by overproduction, large amounts of packaging and a consumption pattern that drives the environmental impact. Ulf comments:

- There is a lot that needs to change in the skincare industry, from the choice of packaging, raw materials and properties of the products produced, to the industry's mindset that drives overconsumption. If we were to choose one thing to change, it would probably be to reduce all unnecessary overproduction and overuse. The most sustainable product is probably the one that never needs to be produced or used unnecessarily.

A call to action for more businesses

The Skinome team hopes that more companies will dare to take the step to contribute to concrete actions for nature.

- We see it as a matter of course that companies contribute to a more sustainable society. By supporting Naturarvet , we help to preserve Swedish old-growth forest worthy of protection and its species richness while helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It contributes to a great added value in our own neighborhood. We think that's good," says Ulf.

We at Naturarvet are pleased with Skinome's commitment and their genuine desire to make a difference, both in their own industry and for nature as a whole. Together, we are taking another step towards a healthier climate and more protected forests for future generations.
